Four Palestinians killed in operations in the West Bank

Ramallah/Tel Aviv, Nov. 5, (dpa/GNA) – Four Palestinians have been killed during Israeli military operations in the north of the occupied West Bank, Palestinian sources said on Tuesday.

According to the Ministry of Health in Ramallah, two men died in a drone strike south of Jenin. Two additional Palestinians were reported to have been killed near Tubas.

The Israeli army announced that “a cell of armed terrorists” was attacked with a drone south of Jenin.

Jenin is considered a stronghold of militant Palestinians in the West Bank.

The already tense situation in the West Bank has significantly worsened since the massacre by Hamas and other Palestinian extremist groups, which resulted in 1,200 deaths on October 7, 2023, and the consequent start of the Gaza War.

Since then, according to the Health Ministry in Ramallah, 738 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank due to Israeli military operations, armed confrontations and attacks by extremists.
